Do me a favour and preface all your future posts with this: "I have no idea what I'm talking about, or the intention to find out, but...". ThanksPetulant indeed, perhaps you would care to address the points instead of chiding me for not having invested enough time in theology. Which religion would you like me to start with? Then which branch of which religion? Then which splinter of which branch? Then which shard of which splinter? Then which cult of which shard? etc. You can invest you're whole life in what you recommend and I bet you have not got a complete understanding of all xtian theologies (let alone world religions), that have ever existed; so what! The truth is I have as much if not a superior understanding of your faith than most of your fellow theists, enough to debate the topic. I don't say its comprehensive, nor superior in any way to yours. I do question the value of investing that time however, when you cannot demonstrate why your view is superior to anyone elses. You can if you like show me the superiority of your knowledge by addressing the arguments, instead of sinping. You have thus far not adressed why:
- Doing evil is logically inconsistent for a god, especially one that appears not to be all good acording to your earlier post. I accept that there are necessairly logical impossible actions this is not one however, and if a god id all powerful, there is no reason why he can't commit evil. The evidence such that it is would support my argument.
- Why your definitions are superior to other definitions
- Why a god that allows evil is differnt from one who perpetrates it (you totally failed to answer that)
Oh and thanks....
